The reason why Debbie showed so much respect to the arrogant Miranda was
not because Debbie was scared of her. It was just that Miranda was an elder.
And besides, she hadn't done anything overt to Debbie, nor did she seem to side
with the other family members whenever they got mad at her.
Miranda gave her a cold glance and said slowly, “I'd like you to come with me to
visit Carlos’ grandpa in the hospital. Today or tomorrow.”
“What?’ Shocked, Debbie raised her head and looked at Miranda with disbelief in
her eyes.
Her reaction made Miranda unhappy. She queried in a cold voice, “Is that a no?”
Shaking her head vigorously, Debbie promised, “No. I didn’t expect to be asked.
It would be an honor to go with you.” It was just that she hadn't ever imagined
that Miranda would invite her to tag along when she visited Carlos’ grandfather.
Without responding to Debbie, Miranda turned around and returned to her own
bedroom, leaving Debbie alone with her thoughts. Why did she do that? Was this
a way to reach out, maybe an olive branch? She didn’t have Long to think about
it, though.
Abit later, Carlos went back to their bedroom too after Listening to
Valerie's lecture. Debbie had given up thinking about the invitation, and had been
chatting happily on WeChat with her friends. Jared suddenly complained,
“Damon's getting married. His wife-to-be is pregnant. My dad is busy preparing
the betrothal gifts. Maybe I should get hitched. Otherwise, my dad might break
the bank buying gifts for
Damon and his wife. If he did that, I would have to start eating air for breakfast.”
Debbie wrote, “Ha! Think your brother cares about your dad's money?”
Jared replied with a zipper-mouth face emoji. But she was right, Damon was rich
enough himself, so he wouldn't care about his dad's fortune a bit. Then he asked
Debbie, “Do you remember Oscar? The man you had a fight with at the Orchid
Private Club.”
Debbie sent a nodding-head emoji.
“I've told you something about him last time, but you were too drunk to listen. I'm
not sure you heard anything I said. So... I heard Damon say he sent Oscar to the
police station at your husband's request. And in the end, the court gave Oscar a
life sentence.”
Debbie was taken aback.
“Seriously? Life-imprisonment? But it wasn't that serious...”
Jared wrote, “Yeah, no shit. But he deserved it. The guy was a punk. He
committed crimes like kids eat candy. Any one of these would have dumped him
in jail for the rest of his life. He's lucky he didn’t get the death penalty.”
Debbie didn't text back.
She lay prone on the bed, deep in thought. When Carlos walked into the room,
this was what he saw—a meditating Debbie. He climbed onto the bed, pressed
on her back and asked, “What are you doing?” He kissed her long hair.
Putting her phone aside, she struggled to roll over and looked into his eyes. They
were in a rather sexy position now.

“Is it true? Did Oscar get life in prison?” she asked outright.
“Oscar?’ Carlos slightly frowned, racking his brain to recall who this guy was. But
he failed.
“Who's Oscar?” he asked in confusion.
